Eliza Dushku's Not-So-Big Bang

Eliza Dushku's Not-So-Big Bang

Outlandishly
miscast as a buttoned-down FBI agent probing Wolowitz, the sci-fi-geeks'
goddess was served up as raw meat for the Comic-Con crowd, like previous Big
Bang guests like Katee Sackhoff and Wil Wheaton. But while they showed
surprisingly sharp sitcom chops, Dushku
seemed more like one of the blank mannequins from Dollhouse.

It's been a
rough week for Eliza: Her boyfriend, NBA vet Rick Fox, got unjustly bounced
from Dancing With the Stars (call it a Bristol stomp). And it's not her fault
Big Bang's writers gave the guys all the good lines — even the Hayden
Planetarium's Neil DeGrasse Tyson got more laughs. But even back in her Buffy
days as Faith, Dushku never slayed us; she's better at kicking ass than
cracking wise. Guess comedy isn't her Tru Calling.
